Pandemic Strategy

Working Together to End the Pandemic

Safer Living Is Possible

While science provides the knowledge and technology to beat the pandemic, we must make individual and collective choices for our community’s well-being. The COVID pandemic will only end when we work together and take shared responsibility for our health and safety.

Ignoring the disease merely prolongs the suffering of all, while taking shared action for healthier conditions—realistically facing the challenge and following a science-based prevention strategy—is the best way to safe conditions. Together we can beat the pandemic.

Why Must We Act Now?

1 COVID-19 is a severe disease that impacts our health, economy, and freedom
2 COVID spreads and mutates rapidly, increasing immune evasion
3 COVID damages the brain, heart, blood vessels, and immune system, causing long term illness and acute events

Facts Backed by Experts

We have ways that we can stop transmission and dramatically reduce the harm of the disease: masks, clean air, testing, and social distancing.

Countries that have controlled the virus have done better for health, the economy and even the liberty of all society.
